Abstract

Currently, there is a tendency to develop chemical and chemical-technological processes that consume as little energy as possible. Recently, ionizing and microwave radiation began to be used for these purposes in the chemical industry, since conventional heating can be slow and inefficient, which increases energy consumption. Polymer sulfur, which is one of the modifications of elemental sulfur, has a number of valuable properties, however, the existing methods for its synthesis are characterized by high energy consumption and therefore are disadvantageous. In order to develop a more efficient method for the synthesis of polymer sulfur, the processes that occur in sulfur-containing emulsions under the influence of ionizing and microwave radiation, and the products formed in these processes are investigated.
